List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare to implement IPTV service provider | 1.1 Obtain and clarify work health and safety (WHS) requirements and risk control measures and procedures for a given work area with appropriate personnel 1.2 Use topology of an IPTV network and design plans to locate network elements for video over broadband 1.3 Select network elements to provide optimum video delivery service 1.4 Obtain configuration instructions for network elements |
2. Implement IPTV network to meet business requirements | 2.1 Configure an IP-MPLS core network overlaying the IP network to deliver IPTV 2.2 Implement VoD application to meet bandwidth requirements and quality of service (QoS) requirements for commercial viability of IPTV network 2.3 Install and configure video service routers for content delivery system (CDS) applications to support TV streaming and internet streaming, with session shifting for follow-me or mobile video facility 2.4 Produce addressing scheme and protocols required for IP multicasting used in the IPTV network 2.5 Configure security measures in IPTV network to protect against security threats 2.6 Configure label switch routers (LSR) to provide secure methods of transporting IP packets using layer 2 protocols in an MPLS network 2.7 Configure MPLS-TE (traffic engineering) to provide routing on diverse paths to avoid congestion and guarantee bandwidth services 2.8 Troubleshoot network according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures |
3. Build and configure CDN architecture network | 3.1 Build content delivery network (CDN) architecture overlaying routing and switching architecture of an IP network to deliver internet TV to internet devices 3.2 Use routing and switching infrastructure to enable CDN share characteristics of each element to produce network functionality 3.3 Install and configure web cache communication protocol (WCCP) on router to redirect traffic flows in real-time to reduce transmission costs and download times |
4. Complete and document network installation | 4.1 Restore worksite to safe condition according to established safety procedures 4.2 Record and store essential installation information according to enterprise procedures 4.3 Notify appropriate personnel of completion of the task according to enterprise procedures |
Evidence of ability to:
install relevant network hardware and software
configure and test internet protocol television (IPTV) network according to specified guidelines
configure label switch routers (LSR) in an multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network
build and configure content delivery network (CDN) architecture network
implement secure network.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain competing video delivery over broadband networks
summarise current industry-accepted hardware and software products
outline networking technologies incorporating detailed knowledge of network operating systems and IP networks
describe transmission technologies and protocols including:
border gateway protocol (BGP)
enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP)
flash
hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
internet group management protocol (IGMP)
open shortest path first (OSPF)
real time streaming protocol (RTSP)
routing information protocol (RIP)
web cache communication protocol (WCCP) operations.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:
a site where installation and configuration of an IPTV network may be conducted
equipment currently used in industry
information on different protocols
relevant technical information, legislative requirements and other site and project-related documentation.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
